The Blues Society had our Annual General Meeting on Saturday, March 21 @ 2 PM at Finley's.

We would like to welcome Bella Cat and Don Walker to the Board of Directors.
Thanks to all who came out and supported the 12th annual Blues, Brews and BBQ. Great fun was had by all! We were able to donate some funds to Kootenay Co op Radio and help fund two local music programs. Trafalger Middle School and Mt. Sentinel Secondary.
"Sue Foley—one of our greatest living female blues guitarists—turned in a five-star performance at Nelson’s Capitol Theatre the evening of September 28/ 2025. She opened with a solo acoustic set on Spanish guitar, performing blues, country and flamenco selections from her Grammy-nominated One Guitar Woman (2024), followed by a hard-driving set with her three-piece electric combo".
